The plot structure is very British, it will not have obvious beginnings and transitions like Hollywood movies, nor will it be completely free time flow like French movies. The director, on the contrary, makes the development of the plot seem abrupt and unsmooth.
To put it more vividly, if the subject matter is Hollywood, then the little boy's mother will eventually become a sparrow and a phoenix, and then Hugh Hugh Grant and Hugh Grant will find out each other is their soul mate, and then the three will live happily ever after. (So when the little boy arranged for the two of them to go on a date, and his mother came out in a clearly dressed but still non-mainstream image, I knew this Hollywood happy ending was not going to happen).
And if this subject is made into a French film, then the plot will still develop as it is now, but at the end, the male protagonist may not necessarily reunite with his sweetheart in the auditorium. The Christmas party at the end of the credits will remain, but it won't be as big as it is now. It's that the male protagonist and the little boy's mother are still single, but after all, after a movie, everyone must have grown up. So everyone continued their real life with these little insights.
